Since the playoff games are over, hockey has been out of our lives for a while now, but it doesn’t have to stay that way. For the first time, a celebrity hockey game called “Fight ALS” will be played at the Jamestown Savings Bank Ice Arena this Sunday, August 7 at 7 p.m. For the most part, the organizers are not releasing the complete roster of stars, but have decided to share a few. Sheriff Joseph Geraci, Ironmen Head Coach Dan Daikawa and Stanley Cup-winner Kevin Adams are just a few of the many who will be tearing up the ice on Sunday night, said Lorie Michalak, Pro Shop manager and ice scheduler. All of the proceeds go to the ALS Association to “create a world without ALS.” People more commonly refer

Have you heard about the Lonesome Loser? Are you in the mood for some Reminiscing? Then don’t miss a special concert appearance of the Little River Band on the floating stage at Bemus Point. The concert takes place Friday, August 19, at 7:45 p.m. and is part of the Bemus Bay Pops Concert Series. The music of the Little River Band goes back to the waning days of 45 records and vinyl albums, and popular music played on AM radio. Their string of hits continued on into the digital age. The Australian band, formed in Melbourne in 1975, scored several stateside hits, but never a number one charting single. They join the Bee Gees as the only two Australian bands to hit the pop charts in the United States. The band’s first American hit was “It’s A Long Way There,” which broke into the Top 30 in 1976.

Following were a string of late 1970’s hit records, including “Help is on Its Way,” “Happy Anniversary,” “Reminiscing,” “Lady,” “Lonesome Loser,” and “Cool Change.” You can often hear their records on the radio, whether it’s on a classic hits station like CBS-FM in New York City, or the standards and oldies powerhouse “AM 740” in Toronto. So why are they called the “Little River Band”? It happened while the band drove to its first performance in Victoria, Australia. They passed an exit sign for a small town called Little River. They used the name for that night’s performance, and the name stuck. The band entered the 1980s with different personnel and scored a top ten American single with “Night Owls,” followed by “Take It Easy on Me,” “The Other Guy,” and “We Too.” Their last single to reach the U.S. Top 40 was “You’re Driving

Only three concerts remain in Mayville’s “Entertainment in the Park” summer concert series. The concerts will be held each remaining Thursday evening in August from 6:30-8:30 p.m. at the Village Green Park in uptown Mayville, said Debby Marsala, coordinator of the Mayville-Chautauqua Chamber of Commerce. Kokomo Time Band will perform Caribbean beach music, reminiscent of the Beach Boys and 70s rock, on August 11, 2011. Randy Graham will perform in the park on August 18. “He is a crowd favorite and a lot of people come out to see him each year,” Marsala said. “He hands out play lists and lets the audience shout out requests then he performs them.” Pat Cooke and Free Country will

be the final performance, featuring country music, in the summer series on August 25. “I like a diverse mix of music for the audience,” said Marsala, who also hires the acts alongside the planning board. “I like each one to be different, not like any other one.” This year’s series features seven bands from Chautauqua County. All eight bands are from New York State, Marsala said. “I really thought about that this year,” said Marsala. “I thought it was important to find bands from the area.” Marsala said Rainbow, a clown, would be present at the Kokomo Time Band and Free Country performances to do face painting and balloon sculptures for the children. “He does the neatest balloon creations and only occasionally does he break a balloon,” Marsala said.

In celebration of their 75th Anniversary, The Erie Community Foundation hosted an exciting day called Erie Gives. Erie Gives Day took place on Tuesday, August 2nd from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. The Erie Community Foundation matched a percentage of each donation made. As part of the 75th Anniversary, they shared $75,000 among the participating nonprofits, along with an additional $25,000 from GE Transportation. The more donations made to a nonprofit, the more matching funds that nonprofit received from The Erie Community Foundation. One of the leading causes supported by this event is the Lake Erie Region Conservancy. This organization fights for and protects beautiful land throughout the region from uncontrolled development. This year in particular, the project is aiming toward permanently saving the Erie Bluffs State Park, as it is such a valuable asset to the future of the region and those living in it. On August 2nd, the event experienced great success as donations for Erie Gives soared to $690,513. The event generated funds from 2,956 donations

and will release an official list of donation amounts for as well as a list of those nonprofit organizations receiving the funds on August 12, 2011 at “A Day for You at the Zoo.” Although Lake Erie Region

Conservancy will not receive one of the higher gift amounts, their fight may be just as important as other nonprofit

It’s the middle of August and the living is easy! Perhaps ‘relaxing’ would be a better choice of words, as life here really starts to slow down to a nice little pace about this time of year. Perhaps it’s the weather, or the water, or the happy people who are just so darned glad to be here. But one thing’s for sure – if you’re living or visiting Chautauqua County right now, you are one fortunate individual! After all, we’re blessed with beautiful lakes, gorgeous grapes, wonderful wineries and

more culinary opportunities than you can possibly tackle in one summer of overeating. Chautauqua’s cultural events are quite literally second to none, and the myriad of resort-type fun available to us is truly amazing. But we try to experience it all anyway, don’t we? Well, that’s totally understandable. Just remember to have fun, be nice to those who serve you and take deep breaths of the clean, crisp air. It’s just good for your soul! Until next week… JZ

“The most amazing thing,” said Robert Wooler, President of the Friends of Midway State Park, “is how many folks you meet who want to talk about the great times they had roller skating at Midway Park or going to the Jim Roselle WJTN dances. Everyone – it seems – has a fond memory.” So to celebrate those memories, the Friends of Midway State Park, an all-volunteer nonprofit organization that works with the State of New York to restore and preserve Midway State Park, will host a Midway Couples Reunion on Saturday, August 20 from 4 to 7 pm at Midway State Park. At this first-of-its-kind event, the Friends hope to bring back couples who met, dated, even married at Midway Park, as well as those who have simply enjoyed great times there with their children. The event will feature food, a photographer, a story booth to capture the memories, music, and more. “Our hope is that couples that treasure Midway will come out to the park, share their stories, and enjoy some time with others

for whom Midway Park has played an important role,” noted Kate Gross, Manager of Midway State Park. The park, which is located on the eastern shore of Chautauqua Lake in Maple Springs, is in its 113th year of continuous operations, one of the oldest “trolley parks” in the country.Admission is free, but the event will feature raffle items and sponsorship opportunities for the Friends’ ongoing campaign to restore the 1946 Herschell Carousel. More information and registration opportunities are available at the Friends of Midway State Park website, www.fomsp.org. Those planning to attend are asked to bring a favorite dish to share. Originally opened as one of the thousands of “trolley parks” across the country that offered respite and recreation for families in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Midway Park has endured as a destination for family fun and now ranks as the 16th oldest continually operating amusement park in the country.

At the peak of it’s popularity in the 1920s, Midway Park hosted events that attracted thousands of visitors who enjoyed swimming and bathing, roller skating, the dance hall, and rides that included the thrilling “Jack Rabbit” roller coaster. Ownership of Midway Park was held by the JW & NW railroad until 1939, Thomas Carr until 1951, and the Walsh family until the park was purchased by the State of New York in 2007 and continues operations today as Midway State Park. Under the Walsh family and through a growing relationship with the Allan Herschell Co. in nearby North Tonawanda, a complete Herschell kiddyland of rides was installed in the 1950s, soon supplemented by “Dodgem” cars, the “Tilt-A-Whirl”, and the carousel, still the anchors of ride activity at Midway. The games arcade, located in the former trolley depot on the grounds of the park, remains as the other focal point of park activity in the 21st century.Photos courtesy Jane Currie

MAYVILLE, N.Y. – What could be the single largest history celebration to ever take place in Chautauqua County will happen Aug. 13 and 14 in Mayville. As part of the yearlong Bicentennial Celebration, the 2011 History Fair will take place at Chautauqua Suites and feature 56 different historical groups and organizations from all corners of the county. Admission is free. “This could be a once-in-a-lifetime event,” notes Chautauqua County Historian Michelle Henry. “The range of towns that will be on hand and subjects that will be represented at the fair is really remarkable. Who knows when these groups will all be together again at the same location?” Among the many attractions that will be at the History Fair include a display featuring the 25th Reunion Banner of the Ninth New York Cavalry, which was formed in Westfield in 1861 and was the only Cavalry unit to come out of Western New York. The banner was created in 1886 and features the image of Colonel William Sackett, who was killed at Trevilian Station on June 14, 1864. “This banner is a symbol for all the men who served in the Ninth Cavalry and is a must-see,” explains Henry. “There is an effort to restore and preserve the banner and donations will be accepted during both days of the fair.” Henry adds that several Greek Revival Architectural posters will be displayed, featuring

The silk banner from West-field’s 9th New York Cavalry 25th Anniversary reunion. The banner will be on Display at this year’s History Fair on Aug. 13 and 14 in Mayville.

several noteworthy buildings from 20 towns in the county. The Chautauqua County Historical Society will also feature an exhibit of photographic images from John Bowman (1884 – 1977), one of the most prolific and acclaimed photographers in the county’s history. Each of the 56 historical organizations in attendance will feature unique and fascinating artifacts relating to their local history, many of which are rarely displayed. Artifacts and documents relating to some of the county’s earliest settlers, like Alexander Findley, Amos Sottle, and William Bemus will be displayed in various booths. Local history authors will also have their books and publications available for sale. Additionally, re-enactors depicting the French and Indian War, the War of 1812, Civil War and World War I will be encamped around Chautauqua Suites and will conduct demonstrations inside the conference center. and that the Hilltop Spinners and County Weaver’s Guild will be demonstrating during the fair. Food and other concessions will also be made available throughout both days of the fair. Henry is also reminding residents that the history fair is part of the Passport to History promotion. Anyone with a Bicentennial Passport should bring it to the county historian’s booth to get it stamped so they can qualify for various prizes to be given out at the end of the year. The History Fair will run

Saturday, Aug. 13 from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Sunday, Aug. 14 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. There is no cost for residents to attend and the event is only made possible through a generous grant from the Northern Chautauqua Community Foundation.

Grape Country Wine Fest.Next Weekend’s Event Boasts Music by McGraw/Uncle Kracker & More

FORESTVILLE, NY (August 2, 2011) – Tickets are selling out fast as the date quickly approaches for one of Chautauqua County’s biggest summertime events, the America’s Grape Country Wine Festival. The event boasts being the largest state-wide wine festival in the Western New York area and has become a highly anticipated annual gathering for wine lovers throughout the region. This year’s festival will be held on Saturday, August 13 from 12pm to 7pm and Sunday, August 14 from 12pm to 5pm at the Chautauqua County Fairgrounds in Dunkirk, NY. The headline concert featuring area native Sean Patrick McGraw and Billboard Top 100 and Atlantic recording artist Uncle Kracker will take place at 7pm on Sunday, August 14 with grandstand gates opening for seating at 6pm to concert ticket holders. This is the fourth year for the event, which has seen growth in both size and attendance annually. The event doubles as a wine festival and farmers market, featuring area crafters and vendors. This year 27 wineries from across New York will participate in the event, each helping to represent what the various wine trails throughout the state have to offer. Each winery will offer wine tastings and sales by the bottle in an effort to provide attendees with

a spectacular chance to taste something new and different, and possibly adopt a new favorite wine. For those looking to take something more away from the festival, free educational seminars are scheduled for both days inviting those who may like to learn something more about wine pairing possibilities. Cheryl Pitti, a Wine Instructor from the New York Wine and Culinary Center, will be presenting two seminars, a Wine and Food Pairing from 1pm to 2pm and a Wine and Cheese Pairing from 3pm to 4pm, both days of the event. For those who love to entertain or just want to know what wine to pair with what course, these classes will instill a world of knowledge in a short amount of time. While wine tasting is undoubtedly the main attraction at the festival, for many attendees the live music presented throughout the weekend is quite a highlight in itself. This year, the Arthur R. Maytum Family Theater will present live music from Lazy Susan on Saturday from 3:30pm to 7pm and Side Effect on Sunday from 1pm to 6pm. New this year to the festival is the addition of a headline concert, taking place in the grandstands on Sunday after the wineries are done sampling for the weekend. Hometown celebrity Sean Patrick McGraw will open

the concert. The local country crooner landed a spot on the 2009 “America’s Toughest Tour”, opening for Toby Keith and Trace Adkins, and is climbing in popularity in the country music world. Headlining the concert is Billboard Top 100 and Atlantic recording artist Uncle Kracker. With over 15 years in the limelight of the music industry, Uncle Kracker has earned the respect and adoration of fans spanning multiple musical genres including rock, country, pop and blues. His musical talent and range has created quite the fan base, making him relatable to a wide audience of listeners.“The America’s Grape Country Wine Festival creates an amazing atmosphere both for the wineries and vendors involved, and the attendees,” said Jason Merritt, General Manager at Merritt Estate Winery. “Whether you’re coming to wine taste, take home tips from a seminar or be a part of one of the biggest concerts to hit this area in a long time, there really is something for everyone to enjoy at this festival.”For more information on the America’s Grape Country Wine Festival or to purchase festival and concert tickets, please visit www.agcwinefestival.com or call 1-800-965-4834.

to ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) as Lou Gerhig’s disease. For most cases, doctors find no reason of how or why ALS occurs. In ALS patients, their neurons die and can no longer send messages to muscles or other parts of the body. This leads to weakness, twitching and eventually the loss of all muscle function, according to the National Institutes of Health website. This whole idea for the benefit game essentially came in December when doctors diagnosed Kevin Hoitink with ALS. Kevin was a part-time employee for the arena and his wife Kathy works in the café and in the banquet portion of the arena. Kevin also volunteers as a Finely Lake Fireman. “They will do anything to help out others,” Michalak said about the couple. “So when we found this out we thought we definitely

needed to do something and everyone in the arena had a hand in putting this event together.” And they did more than just “something.” The event is not only a celebrity hockey game but also an all-day festival, so to speak. Activities will be going from 6 a.m. to after 11 p.m. From 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. there will a hockey-a-thon where people can bring their gear and go on for as they have pledges for whether it’s for one hour or 12 hours! Then at 11 a.m. the fun-filled day really gets underway. Outside of the arena on the patio and the closed off streets, people will be able to partake in Karaoke, Kan Jam, face painting, 10 different bands, a battle of the DJs and so much more! “There really is something for everyone at this event,” Michalak said. A silent and Chinese auction will also take place at the event. Donated items include Sean Patrick McGraw, Jackson Ram and Sabre memorabilia,

as well as a glide bench, set of books from New York Times best-selling author Wendy Corsi Staub from Dunkirk and paintings from area artists. Then after the 7 p.m. Jamestown’s own DJ Ace will be keeping the benefit going in the Legend’s Club until after 11 p.m., Michalak said. All of this for only $10. Bar-b-que chicken, beer and other beverages are not included in ticket price. “We just want people to come out and have a fun, upbeat day because everyone can find something to do,” Michalak said. Even if it rains this Sunday, the event will still continue but be moved to inside the arena. Michalak sincerely hopes that this event will be able to continue every year. The arena holds 1800 people and no limit on the number of tickets sold has been placed. For more information about “Fight ALS,” please visit jamestownarena.com or call 716-484-2624.

Me Out of My Mind” in 1983. They continued to perform into the 1990’s and beyond as the revolving door of band member changes continued. The 1990’s saw the release of a two CD boxed set marking their twentieth anniversary

tour. An album called “The Definitive Collection” came out in 2005. Current members of the Little River Band are Wayne Nelson, Greg Hind, Chris Marion, Mel Watts, and Rich Herring. They’re still busy performing, both in this country and abroad. From 2006 to 2009, the band performed over 350 live shows, according to their official website. And they’ve stayed busy in the recording

studio. Their most recent CDs are “Rearranged,” “Standing Room Only,” “Outback,” a cover of the Beatles “In My life,” and their first Christmas CD, “We Call It Christmas.” According to their web site, “It’s always fun to watch as people are swept up by the show’s vitality and volume of hits. You’ll see plenty of people mouthing the words, ‘I love this song, I forgot it was a Little River Band hit!’”

Monarch Butterfly FestivalAudubon Center’s Senior Naturalist Plans August 27th Event

Jamestown, NY – Little did Jeff Tome know when he was raising butterflies to release at his wedding that his interest would one day become a major event at Jamestown’s Audubon Center and Sanctuary! For six years, Audubon’s Senior Naturalist has overseen what has become the full day Monarch Butterfly Festival, to be held this year on Saturday, August 27. As Tome says, “The Monarch Butterfly Festival is about transformation. Audubon’s auditorium will be transformed into a garden of wildflowers with butterflies flying about. One corner will have volunteers bringing butterflies over for people to hold. Another corner will have people tagging the butterflies with stickers to help scientists track their migration.” From 10 am to 4 pm, visitors

will have the opportunity to observe monarchs in every stage of development, from tiny eggs through the caterpillar, chrysalis, and into beautiful butterflies. Tiny butterfly eggs will be on display along with monarch caterpillars of all sizes. The largest ones can be held with the help of volunteers. There will also be butterfly crafts for kids, food for sale, tours of Audubon’s butterfly garden and a plant sale aimed at getting more milkweed, the only food for monarch caterpillars, out into the community. Monarch butterfly expert Barbara Case, known fondly at Audubon as “Monarch Mama,” plays a key role in the festival by collecting and raising scores of monarch eggs and caterpillars all summer. She will answer questions about raising and tagging monarchs, growing

milkweed, planting a butterfly garden, and establishing a monarch way station to help these beautiful travelers. Other volunteers will help children and adults use insect nets outside to catch, identify and release butterflies on Audubon’s grounds. Children are welcome, with adult supervision. And bring your camera! Admission is $5 for Audubon members, $7 for non-members, under 2 free. The Audubon Center and Sanctuary is at 1600 Riverside Road , off Route 62 between Jamestown and Warren . Regular hours are 10 am-4:30 pm daily, Sundays 1-4:30 pm, and the trails and Bald Eagle viewing are open dawn to dusk. To learn more call (716) 569-2345 or visit www.jamestownaudubon.org.

Exploring pond life is one of the fun and learning ex-periences offered by the Audubon Center and Sanc-tuary’s summer day camps. Audubon has some camp-ership money remaining and openings in four camps in August.

Camperships AvailableAudubon Center Offers Day Camps Throughout August

Jamestown, NY – With a few day camp openings remaining and some campership money still available, it’s not too late for your child to have a great outdoor experience this summer at the Audubon Center and Sanctuary.
